at the exit barrier to the town centre car park. On putting in his ticket to raise the barrier, he realised that you are supposed to pay for your ticket on foot before getting into your car. He cooly got out of his car and sauntered to the nearest ticket machine with his head held high, but without making eye contact with the occupants of any of the cars in the large queue which was building up behind his car. Once he had paid for his ticket, he sauntered back to his car and put his ticket into the machine to raise the barrier before getting back in and wheelspinning off.
I wouldn't want to copy his parting action but if it had been me who had forgotten to pay for the ticket, I would have been a) running to the ticket machine b) apologising profusely to every car occupant in the queue and c) been very hot and bothered.
Amazingly, no one beeped their horn or shouted out of the window during this whole performance and the 2nd barrier was closed due to roadworks, so he was blocking the only exit from the very large carpark at a time when people would have been heading back to do the school run.
